As you know, my work emanates from my mandate from God to propagate Utterance as the life force of Speaking in Tongues and the manifestation of the Gifts of the Spirit.
Utterance for our purposes to this end most nearly means the incessant pouring forth from Heaven of the Voice, Mind, Spirit, Creative Power, Resurrection Power, Revelation, Wisdom, Sanctification, Anointing and More, from God.
The same is that promise often spoken of and sought after by those of us who love God and who are earnestly seeking to have his essence present in our lives. The apostle Peter says this by the Spirit just as well an anyone in Acts 2:38-40.
You all know the story of the prophet Balaam, right? Balaam was very busy in the the book of Numbers. He was also mentioned in several other books of the Bible. He sold out to a fellow by the name of Balak, the king of Moab. Balak wished that Balaam would prophesy a curse upon Israel for which he would be paid money.
Each time Balaam attempted to curse Israel, the Lord would change his words to blessing rather than cursing Israel. Balak was not pleased. We find that God also was not please with Balaam as Balaam attempted to circumvent God’s command not to deal with the Moabites. Balaam was eventually slain by Israel.
There was an occasion that while Balaam rode his ass (donkey) toward Moab that the donkey saw an angel with his sword drawn sent by God to thwart the trip. The donkey refused to go further and fell to the ground injuring Balaam.
Balaam smote the donkey and the donkey asked him why he had done such as she had always been reliable. Additionally, the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes so that he too could see the angel.
Now I said all of that to get to the following verse of scripture that was spoken by Balaam while he was in a trance. I believe it to be a prophecy relating to what is currently my favorite subject, namely Utterance:
He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. (Numbers 24:7)
Here, Balaam is speaking of none other than the Holy Spirit that is being poured out (shed forth) by Jesus Christ Himself. I find that the Bible is laden with this prophecy.
Here is what Peter said on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2) as he it expounded upon Joel Chapter 2: But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Look closely at this passage and tell me what you see. Pray first:
A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed. Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard, Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices: A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon. Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits. (Song of Solomon 4: 12-16)
Try and picture Christ standing at the Right Hand of the Father pouring out (shedding forth) His Spirit from a large urn (buckets). The same being the referenced Power mentioned in paragraph #2 above.
Raise your hands toward Heaven because that is where your help is coming from!
